With apologies to the folks in this eGullet thread…
You know you’re a cocktail nerd when you move house, and one box contains nothing but bitters.
We’re in Providence as of yesterday afternoon, but we’re still digging out. Catch up with y’all soon.

when my brother-in-law saw our collection of bitters (which would not even fill a large shoebox), he said “now that’s just crazy”. I didn’t want to traumatize him by telling him that I was a dilettante compared to some people.
The wife and I just moved into our new house. I have to say I did have one box entirely of bitters.
I am moving from CA to KY, and driving my car, thus drastically limiting the amount I can take. Taking stock, a conservative estimate dictates that at least half the car will consist of my collection of spirits, liqueurs, bitters, and other liquid sundries. And that is after a month-long, self-imposed, no-restocking rule has been in effect, reducing my usual on-hand collection by about a third.
